Same current is flowing in two AC circuits. First contains only inductance and second contains only capacitance. If frequency of AC is increased for both, the current will (a) increase in first circuit and decrease in second (b) increase in both circuits (c) decrease in both circuits (d) decrease in first circuit and increase in second

Answer: (d). Inductor: I = (V)/(2π f L) decreases as f increases. Capacitor: I = V(2π f C) increases as f increases. So the answer is (d): decreases in the first circuit and increases in the second.

Same current is flowing in two AC circuits. First contains only inductance and second contains only capacitance. If frequency of AC is increased for both, the current will

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Inductor: $I = \frac{V}{2\pi f L}$ decreases as $f$ increases.
Capacitor: $I = V(2\pi f C)$ increases as $f$ increases.
So the answer is (d): decreases in the first circuit and increases in the second.
